Borderlands 2 confirmed

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford confirmed that the developer was working on Borderlands 2.

In an interview with VG247, he quipped: “I’m sure Duke will have some demands of me and I’ve gotta work on Borderlands 2, right?”

Pitchford had been cagey about whether Gearbox was working on a Borderlands 2. When it was falsely reported that Aliens: Colonial Marines had been canceled because of Borderlands 2, Pitchford stated: "I respect Jim (Sterling, Destructoid journalist) and his audience and I'm a little surprised he didn’t bother to try to e-mail myself or our folks before extrapolating that NeoGAF post even further. Jim even referenced Borderlands 2? What's Borderlands 2? Bah! And El Oh El!”

He had earlier called Borderlands 2 a "no-brainer", which is why this news is exciting, but not a surprise.
